sunday of failed installs
so, i started rebuilding my laptop. most current OS. most current AntiVirus. most current security and search features turned on. something keeps crashing. i've turned off the search. i've turned off the journaling. i've turned off everything except the a/v and the security. this morning it froze without crashing. my desktop machine at work, which is even older, has no problems, but it isnt running the security features. i'll keep trying to pare it down till it works.
i did manage to get most of the porch decorations up, and dig out a fiber-optic tree that Nala's mom bought last year. it's starting to feel like christmas. really.
i also started to try to replace my am/fm radio with a newer car stereo, only to find out the brand which i bought only allows for wire-splicing, and no harness adapters. so, i took it back. i am not a hobbyist, and i didnt feel like tearing my dash further apart or spending even more money to find out where each of the wires goes. so, one less present for myself for my birthday/christmas.
i've got two rebates to send in, and i also have to mail a package. this probably means standing in long lines at lunch. or waiting till wednesday to mail things on campus.
oh, and while i thought my prof was joking about waiting till the last possible minute to grade things, it seems she is. grades have to be in today, and there's no sign.
